Tom_ Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 (edited) my front end feels really low, i'm reasonably new to my trials and this style of bike. My friend said that the front is to low, however when i look at complete bikes they seem to have similar front end hights. I have a Base ta26 with a low rise stem and 1 inch rise bars, with no spacers (as the steerer is to short) any help and veiws on this would be much appreciatedcheers Edited July 5, 2006 by tom132 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thurston Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 It could be to low, for some peopleIf you like the height it's at then keep itIts all personal opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brendan@medway riders Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 if you like how low it is then keep it but if you feel its to low then you can always just get a higher stem or bars brendan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 As the others said - if you like it, keep it.If not, Stem from Supercycles.co.ukIt's the stem that comes on Onza T-Pro's and T-birds. A very good stem, I think, for £12.50.It's got a lot of rise on it, so it'll bring the bars up if they're too low for comfort. And they're black... when I read CroMo, I thought it'd be like chrome, the silver type. Just incase you wanted to know Flipp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 dont put a mod stem on a stock your bars would be stupidly high sounds liek the bars would be low to me ride other peoples bikes see what you like i used to have about 4cm of steam stackers 15 deg stem (110mm) and some 2 inch rise bars liked it now i like the front end a bit lower though as they say its all down to prefrence have a go on otherpeoples bike or get some forks with a nice long steer tube and mess around with stem stackers.ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 (edited) Ah....Very sorry, didn't read the bit about which bike...I just assumed it was a mod :$ My mistake.But yeah - Ben's right - don't do what i said.. lol Flipp Edited July 6, 2006 by Flipp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Ingle Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 I've got the same problem on my bike. It's personal preferance really, I'm going to get a higher stem after riding a mates Koxx. Hes got massive rise compared to me and I found the bike to be a lot more controllable than mine. Just buy a 2nd hand stem, that way if you dont like it then you will probably be able to sell it on without making much of a loss. Nothing to lose!Mike.

Tom_ Posted July 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 I was looking at the Monty no. 2 post and noticed that he is running a monty urban stem with a nice looking rise. I found the stem at clean bikes, was just wondering what experiences people had had with them (delivery etc.)cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
